The Election Calculator now includes three different behaviors of IRV:
duplicate a vote across choices it ranks equally ( aka "whole" )
split a vote across choices it ranks equally
disqualify a vote so long as it has a tie for first place (it can come
in in later rounds when through disqualification of choices it has a
unique first).*

I hope this helps illustrate and discover the differences between they
variations.
* I don't think this should not be done in practice. A real voting
machine should reject invalid ballots and require the voter to try
again. I included it for some sort of "completeness", and because my
front end makes no enforcement against casting tied-ranking ballots.
